Yep - Just clamp around one wire and it measures the current flowing through the wire.

One issue with clamp-on meters is they sometimes don't have sufficient range/sensitivity to measure small currents. You can compensate for this by clamping around a wire looped several times (need a long wire) and dividing the total current by the number of passes of wire though the clamp.
